You sir, deserve a round of applause!

Not quite sure what is the deal with this site, but it was listed on lec.com. All the site does is pops up a login screen, and there are other reports that it links to the Hanso Foundation lock out screen. As usual, lec.com didn't explain how they came across this site, so info about it is sketchy at best. The whois info doesn’t give anything conclusive either. This site is deffinitly questionable.

Whois lookup for hansoexposed.com.

Ok....so what does all of that mean? I'm not one for technical crap...And what is lec.com?

[NctrnlBst]

lec.com = lostexperienceclues.blogspot.com

[dharma_infinity]

lec.com = lostexperienceclues.blogspot.com

ahhhhhhhhhh...but that's not official tho.

[Brennan]

Nevertheless, hansoexposed.com is run on the same server as all the other websites so either it's official or somebody over there decided to make their own personal website and name it hasnoexposed.  When I saw that latest commercial, I was expecting to see hansoexposed.com at the end, but no such luck.  If we already have the name and password (the name is most likely rblake, though not definetly) I have no idea where we're supposed to get them from.  One of Rachel's comments?  The Hanso Commercial?  That strange e-mail?

I think, more than likely, this is simply a site that will come out in a couple of days or weeks and we'll be able to use it then to do something.  Maybe Rachel's new blog or some other person who is going to take her place after she was possibly captured or ( ) "removed from the equation."

[NctrnlBst]

I'm still curious as to hoe TLEC.com found out about it. They have a habbit of just posting things, and not explaining how they found it. Although, it is possible that one of their readers found it, and e-mailed it in. In that case, they probably don't know how it was found either.

Back in Feb I put out this post

http://www.dharmasecrets.com/forum/index.php/topic,1738.msg18808.html#msg18808

I also took this survey to see if you thought CHANNEL 4 was a related entity of ABC.
http://www.dharmasecrets.com/forum/index.php/topic,1768.msg18927.html#msg18927
Most people did not think that CHANNEL4 was a related entity of ABC.

Well now that Channel 4 from the UK is “NOW” a valid LOST site
http://www.dharmasecrets.com/forum/index.php/topic,5033.0.html

So I’m back to my idea from my Feb post about some clues for Driveshaft.

if you go to OFFICIAL  Lost CHANNEL 4 web site http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/L/lost/
And click “the untold” on the left there is a great little game to play.
I click “I’ve been here before”   -   If you haven’t go to the first part. Lots of great info.
Once you see the passenger manifest go to Charlie pace and click on it.
Click the    White Jelly Bean
 Next  pick brown bag, then the VIP Pass.  It brings up http://www.driveshaftband.com/

This link so many of you have told me is not a valid site, HOWEVER,  This is FROM the game
On a OFFICIAL  Lost CHANNEL 4 web site.

Not sure this is part of the Lost Experience since it is not the same format as the newer format.
Someplace here in dharmasecrets someone posted it could be on ALL mediums so..
I do think it is a VALID site.

Who told you that it wasn't valid? Channel 4 is the UK carrier for LOST, and as such, the game put out by them is an official site. I have no doubt that a clue could show up there just like I think that a clue may one day show up on the oceanic site. They have referenced the Mapinguari, so it's not a stretch to believe that they could use it. After today's update which included clues that led to Javi Speaks, and the Fuselage, I think that it's pretty much open game.

[Peel]

I think I was the one who kept telling people that driveshaftband.com was a fansite, and I'm afraid I'll keep the same position...

The channel4 website, even if we can consider it valid, is not really official, it's a 'secondary' website that hosts contents already available on the 'primary' ones from ABC to make it look like they have new stuff for the UK viewers when they don't really (the mapinguari red herring for example was on the oceanic site last july...).

And I still think driveshaftband.com is a fansite, a nice one maybe, but not official in any way, it was never referenced in the official websites ring, but only came up on fan forums. The WHOIS search still says it's referenced through godaddy.com, making it a big clue for it to be a fansite since all the official sites are hosted on ABC servers...

I was googling around for Hanso logos when I came across ~

www.HansoAir.org

Is this for real? Looks like crap to me, but I don't know....

[Fingolfin]

We all probably know that http://www.thehansofoundation.org is currently offline due to alleged hackers.

However, there is a link that allows access to the original site as it was prior to the staged hacking.

Here is the link --

I don't think this has been posted before, but I apologise in advance if it has.

[senefen]

hansoair looks fake to me. I doubt Hanso would use google adds

[NctrnlBst]

Here is another fake arg site that just recently went live. I have to admit, that it's a good fake.

[senefen]

The MB site is gone. It was a very nice fake. Better than hansoair, this one used flash and didnt have google adds.
